I used to think “Little Marco” was the future of the GOP—and maybe even the country. I was wrong. Spectacularly wrong.

Turns out, the party didn’t want vision. It wanted vengeance. And Rubio? He bent with the wind.

🌍 European elections signal a pushback against far-right populism. Romania's centrist victory and Portugal's political shifts highlight changing tides.

Conservative relatives,

We don't talk anymore because I found out that conservatism is an ideology for oppression and not one to give even the time of day.

AP reports confirm Trump allowed 17 Sinaloa Cartel family members to enter the U.S. as part of a backroom deal. This is the very definition of authoritarian corruption. Democracy deserves better. #TrumpCartelDeal #ProDemocracy

Donald Trump says he’s “not sure” whether immigrants deserve due process.

He’s also launching Trump 2028 merch while claiming he won’t run again.

This isn’t a policy position—it’s an authoritarian playbook on live TV.

Reopening Alcatraz isn’t justice—it’s Trump’s idea of a strongman shrine. A grotesque, wasteful throwback designed to stoke fear and glorify cruelty.

This isn’t about safety. It’s about control.

Trump wants to rename Veterans Day to “Victory Day for WWI” and create a WWII holiday, claiming we “don’t celebrate enough victories.”

Veterans Day was never about “victory”—it’s about service, sacrifice, and remembrance. This isn’t just tone-deaf—it’s authoritarian revisionism.

📣 Trump’s presidency isn’t just off the rails — it’s become a storefront autocracy.

“We are a department store… I set the prices.”

This isn’t satire. This is his governing philosophy.

My new piece unpacks how Trump is openly dismantling democracy.

The courts can’t enforce their own rulings. That power belongs to the executive.

And when the president refuses to listen, democracy doesn’t just stumble—it starts to fall.

My latest deep dive:

Kilmar Abrego Garcia was deported to El Salvador—despite being a Maryland resident—under Trump’s DHS. He ended up imprisoned with alleged gang members.

The Supreme Court now says the gov’t must “facilitate” his release.
Translation: we’re cleaning up a cruel, chaotic mess made by authoritarian border policy.

Another reminder: democracy demands accountability—even after the fact.

Let them eat turf: As the world unravels, Trump hits the links. Authoritarian indifference in full swing.
